Loba ParkettOil is a solvent-based maintenance oil for wood floors that have been treated with oxidizing oils. It is used to refresh an oiled floor and take out wear marks while keeping the matte look of the original oil finish. It is a care product for floors that are already oiled.
Key features
- Keeps the matte finish – retains the matte appearance of oiled floors and does not self-polish.
- Spot treatment – suitable for treating individual worn areas and removing wear marks.
- High coverage – about 800–1,000 sq ft per quart.
- Long shelf life – 36 months in unopened containers; not sensitive to freezing.
Where to use it
On wood floors treated with oxidizing oils, either freshly oiled or showing moderate wear. Loba notes that floors with extensive damage may need treatment with an impregnation oil instead. Always prepare a test area first.
How to use
- Clean the floor thoroughly. On worn floors Loba calls for its hardwood floor cleaner and, if needed, a floor machine with a mildly abrasive pad (beige or green). Let the floor dry completely.
- Shake well. Do not thin or add water.
- Apply an even coat with a lint-free cotton cloth or a sponge and wipe off any excess so the oil does not pool.
- On larger areas, spray the oil onto the floor and buff with a floor machine fitted with a white pad.
- Do not apply below 55°F (13°C). Keep the area ventilated during application and drying.
Working and cure times
- Light use: after 4–6 hours
- Full use: after 12 hours
Safety
Flammable solvent vapors are released while the oil dries, so keep open flames away and do not smoke nearby. Oil-soaked cloths, pads and tools can self-ignite: store them in a closed metal container or soak them in water immediately after use.
